NASA’s Massive Artemis Moon Rocket Set for Second Hot Fire Test – Watch Live Coverage Today:

NASA is targeting a two-hour test window that opens at 3 p.m. EDT Thursday, March 18, for the second hot fire test of the core stage for the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

The agency plans to begin live coverage on NASA Television, the agency’s website, and the NASA app approximately 30 minutes before the hot fire. The team will refine the timeline as it proceeds through operations. NASA will provide updates on the operations and the target hot fire time at @NASA and the Artemis blog.

[...] A post-test briefing will follow on NASA Television approximately two hours after the test.

    Windows for launches make perfect sense.

    Just like javascript for flight control software makes perfect sense.

    Someday, someone will actually get Microsoft into court over that stupidly-granted trademark.

    Seems like the usual pattern though is that Microsoft files suit over a trademark violation, and then (presumably, behind closed doors) offers to either drag out the court case until their victim is bankrupt and can't pursue it to final victory, or pay them to change their name. Not surprisingly everyone has chosen the second option.

    Someday though. Someday...
